Welcome to Question Mark, Ohio

Your Town Government

Town Council

The Town Council is the legislative body of our town government and is responsible for making policy decisions that impact the community.

The Town Council meets regularly on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings are open to the public and we encourage residents to attend and participate in the democratic process. Agendas and minutes from past meetings can be found on our website (however, are currently unavailable due to a problem with our printer).

Our Town Council is your representative in our government.

The Town Council is composed of seven members who are elected by the residents of Question Mark to serve four-year terms. The Council is responsible for setting the town's budget, adopting local laws, and making decisions on land use and development. They also approve appointments to town boards and commissions.

The Council members are committed to working with residents to make Question Mark a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

We invite you to stay informed about the Town Council's activities and to get involved in the community. If you have any questions or concerns about the Town Council, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to serve you. However, please do not contact us with questions about the backgrounds of individual Town Council members, dissatisfaction with the town’s new snow removal policy, or questions for the mayor.

A Letter from the Mayor

April 15, 2024

I had planned on sharing my thoughts with the town at the Annual Mayor’s Address on Saturday but as so few of you attended–though I know I should not be surprised–I will repeat my comments in this less-than-illustrious forum.

A painted portrait of Mayor Elizabeth Zisk, the best mayor Question Mark has ever had. Mayor Zisk is beautiful, but also caring. Her hair is large and brown and stunning. She looks concerned about you.

Elizabeth Zisk is the longest-serving public official in town history, seen here in her official portrait.

After facing every sort of catastrophe over the last year–from missing street signs to missing pets to missing statues to missing children to entire buildings disappearing, a fire, flood, time stopping, time going backwards, a series of unsolved murders, one Void, seven Voids, no Voids, and just this week, thirty bodies being stolen from St. Casimir Non-Denominational Cemetery and time itself seeming to break down–I believe I have now lost the capacity to be shocked.

As we find ourselves in the midst of another cataclysm where Willey Envelope and even the town hall keep appearing and disappearing, I can no longer feel anger, embarrassment, or even disappointment. Even as some of us have worked so tirelessly to help this town thrive and prosper–namely me, that Bookman girl, and her very weird internet coterie–there have been others, so many others who have tried to bring me and this town to its knees.

Even my dearly beloved husband Thompson–with one harebrained pyramid scheme after another–became a burden until his untimely demise. Other men have come and gone from my life–yes, I have known other men–and they all failed to live up to even the lowest of expectations.

But what I have learned is that, like this town, I am a survivor. In the 1980s while I was working as a spokesmodel for an infomercial for Gladiator Blenders, I inadvertently injured myself on set, slicing open my pinky. I smiled through more than three additional hours of shooting and repeated the same inane line over and over until the director finally called cut. And although I can no longer feel any sensation in that particular finger, I learned an incredibly important lesson that day about inner strength and determination.

I, like this town, have known hardship, grief, loss, failure, and even humiliation. And regardless of the nature of this latest tragedy, we will continue to face these challenges together. No one, nothing can stop us as long as we keep on believing.

Mayor Elizabeth Zisk
